Antiracism Resources | Learn & Listen

June 3, 2020 Leave a Comment

I really don’t think there’s any level of understanding, comprehension or compassion that can be articulated around the topic of racism unless you’re the one experiencing it first hand. With that, I’m committed to sharing in all ways possible and doing my part to be a stand for anti-racism, to educate myself and to educate others (and put them in their place) when it’s necessary. As I’ve said before (on my Instagram) I don’t have all the answer and never will (it would be near impossible), but my ears and eyes are open and I’ll relay as I’m able, and share.
